Texas has been covered with ice and snow recently. Autrey's clinic was closed 3 days last week. Four church buildings in our stake had pipes burst, but they got them mostly dried in time. The roads around Cowboy Stadium are also cleared, just in time for the Super Bowl. (I baked cookies and am marinating my homemade hot wings to go with the jalapeno poppers for the occasion! Yum!) We stayed holed up in the apartment until Friday afternoon when we took Dylan outside to play for a little while. So cute all bundled up:
Dylan trying to escape Autrey's grasp:
There was snow in the bed of the pickup so we let him play in there. Sort of like a sand box/play pen, but with snow. He loved it!
So fun to watch his excitement in these videos: As you just saw, Dylan was not thrilled with his sock mittens hindering his ability to grab stuff. We did what any good parents would; we took off his gloves and gave him a spatula to use as a shovel. He went to town with it:

We went inside and warmed up with some grilled cheese and tomato soup.

ReplyDeleteThat looks like a great week of having the husband around. After being so busy over the holidays, I treasure the snow days in January. Have to tell you, the other night at dinner we were sitting there, and Kate was doing everything she could think of to get out of eating. She started knocking on the under side of the table saying, "mom, someone's at the door" after a few times of Ben and I laughing, she yelled, "Mom, go get the door, it's Shilo!" Then she looked at me, cause she knew she blew it, because we don't live close any more. Crazy girl. Made me miss ya'll though. We need to plan a trip to visit sometime in the spring or fall...
ReplyDeleteHe's walking so well!!! That's so cute that he was throwing snowballs out the back of the truck! What a fun play pen! :)
